And the wait is over…

Twinsbaseball.comSantana dealt to Mets for Four ProspectsThe next few days will be filled with boos and jeers regarding the trade (and a few Woo Hoo’s thrown in from the Mets fans, you know who you are) but I just wanted to put it out there.

Santana, 2x Cy Young, Fan favorite, Ace, Clubhouse leader traded to the New York Mets for:Carlos Gomez (outfielder)Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey (Pitchers)Out of those four players, Gomez actually spent about 58 games in the majors and Humber had five appearances.

Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way. We're reaching the point where you can be a truly dedicated, state-of-the-art fan or you can have a life. Take your pick. ~Thomas Boswell, Washington Post, 13 April 1990
